I thought Khan and the Bird Of Prey were both 2016 releases? They had the 50th packaging on them. 

 

It wouldn't be the first time a release was late. 

 

Did they release NOTHING NEW in 2017?

I dont think they did and I think I might have a theory... they lost the licence to McFarlane to make classic Star Trek and Discovery (all the items associated with CBS) merchandise...

... having said that, maybe lost isnt the right word, perhaps swapped from classic Star Trek believing they had done all they could with that licence, and replacing it with a licence to cover the Kelvin Timeline movies knowing the desire from fans for some decent collectibles that match with their classic Art Asylum/DST collection...

That would then give DST the opportunity to delay or cancel any remaining product from their old licence but give them the time to work on a new line of product from the Kelvin Timeline. I dont actually think were going to see the Reliant, Borg Drone or TNG phaser sold in stores, perhaps put into the new Loot Crate Star Trek Mission Crate as exclusives or sold exclusively through Entertainment Earth or BBTS...

Whatever way they worked this out with CBS, I believe that the reason McFarlane has the licence for Discovery and classic Trek is down to the fact that DST doesnt have that licence anymore. The final products might just be the Reliant, TNG Phaser and Borg Drone...

What comes next because I still think they have a Star Trek licence, are product based upon the Kelvin Timeline movies.

Based on what McFarlane has already shown and what DST continues to work on, it's possible that the former has rights to all TV series while DST has rights to all films.

Toy Fair has begun, even though I'm expecting disappointment, for some reason I'm excited at the possibility of seeing something new from DST. 

 

Really looking forward to QMx and hopefully Mcfarlane. QMx usually has some good stuff on display, and I'm really hoping for some more DISCO items.

QMX put some other pics on their Facebook page.  You can see the Locutus figure and a prototype of their Master Series Latinum Edition Enterprise D.  Says it is coming in March for $22.95.  Hard to tell how big it is compared with the Eaglemoss version.

I’m getting the mini master Lucutus in the Star Trek Mission Crate, but really hope they make them available elsewhere since I’m not staying subscribed.

The mini master ships should be similar sized to Eaglemoss based on their other ships like the Franklin.

Meh, the Enterprise D model looks tiny and looks worse than the Eaglemoss versions. So far underwhelmed by the Star Trek presence at toy fair... Jurassic World though! Wow Mattel have really done some great things.

Here is a pic from Facebook:

Its hard to tell how detailed the D is since they don't have a good picture of it. I wonder if the sculpt will be more accurate.

 

Edit:

The size of the D definitely looks on the small side when looking at my Firefly Mini Masters and the badges.

 

Here is Eaglemoss's with a Firefly Mini Master

We haven't seen Mcfarlane or DST's booth yet, so there could be more.

Eaglemoss booth:

First look their Cylon Raider and Viper Mark 2.

Looks like the packaging for the Star Trek collection is changing.

Saw some highlights from the DST booth and no sign of Trek. Wish DST would just admit there is no more Trek and give up the license already. So tired of the lies and BS from them.

Even when expecting disappointment from them, it seems my expectations are never low enough.

Any mentions of some Trek being there, but not be photographable? That stupid thing tends to happen.

The Picard figure looks good. Kirk is good, too, but his cheeks seem too rosey. 

 

As for no Trek from DST.... sigh....

Locutus and the Enterprise were stated to be Loot Crate exclusives for a while, which means theyre (probably) both going to be in the first Mission Crate.

They also said there was a Worf Mini Master and Defiant in the works, and not displayed, Im guessing will be in the second crate.
